On the Shoulders of Giants
West European welfare states
Analysing endeavours to restructure welfare provision, Paul Pierson proposes that the ‘politics of retrenchment’ is very different from the politics of welfare expansion. In particular, the difficulties of welfare retrenchment are not to be explained by existing theories of welfare expansion; and the ‘old’ politics of welfare expansion has little to offer in explaining the ‘new’ politics of welfare retrenchment. This article questions these claim…
The British Election Study and Electoral Research
The British Election Study is the major data resource for investigating electoral behaviour among the British electorate. It has seldom been subject to open critical review from within the political science community, yet, together with extensions such as the British Election Panel Study, it absorbs a considerable proportion of the resources available for British political research. This article sets out a critical appraisal of the study, examini…
The Scope of Government
This book is the third in the ‘Beliefs in government’ series, and examines the effects of the post‐war arrival of the welfare state in the countries of Western Europe. The welfare state inaugurated a vast expansion in the role of government, which led to fears that the increased expectations of citizens would lead to government overload and to ‘ungovernability’. This book sheds new and surprising light on such fears. It begins by examining the ex…
The Scope of Government (Beliefs in Government , Vol 3)
Perspectives on Value Change
This chapter offers a general assessment of the extent to which the foregoing chapters have helped achieve the objectives set out at the start of the book. The general conclusion is that while changing value orientations are certainly affecting the attitudes and priorities of governments, they are themselves being changed by the political environment to which they contribute. While the tasks of government are becoming more complex, there is no ev…
Research Strategies in the Social Sciences
This volume is a collection of commissioned articles by 16 experts in social science methodology, each contribution introducing experienced social scientists to more advanced analytic techniques. The contributions explain the theoretical underpinnings of a particular technique, and illustrate the approach with a worked example. The techniques covered are the basic regression model and its extensions, linear structural equation modelling, log‐line…
The Impact of Values
This book is the fourth in the ‘Beliefs in government’ series, and focuses on phenomena indicative of widespread change in the value orientations of citizens in Western Europe during the past two decades. These include a decline in religious belief, waning class values, and rising post‐materialism – along with environmentalism, feminism, and post‐modernism. The extent of these changes, and their impact on the conduct of politics, are the dual con…
Beliefs in Government
This article conveys the general findings of the multi-national, multi-volume Beliefs in Government research project, perhaps the most exhaustive analysis of mass beliefs and attitudes conducted in the west. In spite of considerable socio-economic change in recent decades, the study provides evidence of political stability, continuity and adaptability in west European countries. This suggests that political scientists should pay more attention th…

Micro and macro analysis of elections
The British Electorate Twenty Years On
The surveys for the 1983 general election marked the first twenty years' systematic study of the British electorate. The British Election series – originating with the 1963 pre-election Nuffield survey by Butler and Stokes, followed by the Essex series in the 1970s conducted by Särlvik and Crewe, and latterly in the hands of Heath, Jowell and Curtice – yield exceptionally rich portraits of voters and their responses to politics. The growing crop …
